WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 7:00 a.m. - 7:50 a.m. CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST
7:50 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. WELCOME Mr. Steven Ritchey Vice President for Intelligence AFCEA International VADM Lowell Jacoby, USN (Ret.) Chairman of the Board Naval Intelligence Professionals Ms. Terry Roberts President Naval Intelligence Professionals 8:00 a.m. – 8:15 a.m. WELCOME AND OVERVIEW Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance 8:15 a.m. – 8:45 a.m. INTRODUCTION SESSION ONE: SESSION ONE: UNDERSTANDING NAVY INFORMATION DOMINANCE The continuing Information revolution presents both opportunities and challenges for the US Navy. The Navy has long enjoyed operating from the information “high ground” employing superior Information-based intelligence and network technologies better and faster than our adversaries. There is an opportunity to extend our existing advantages and to further improve how we collect, process and exploit information well into the future. Our challenge is to establish, maintain and ensure continued access to critical information and essential command and control (C2) capabilities, especially in high threat, anti-access and area denial scenarios at sea. This session will set the scene for the topics, challenges, and goals to be discussed throughout the third Information Dominance Industry Day Focus Questions
Speaker Assistant Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance 8:45 a.m. – 9:15 a.m. SESSION TWO: PRESIDENT'S BUDGET FY-13 OVERVIEW The current fiscal environment poses many new challenges to the continuing development of Navy Information Dominance. The Fiscal Year 13 President’s Budget will incorporate deficit reduction measures and will provide an outlook on future budgets for the next five to ten years. With major cuts already made to the Department of Defense, additional reductions could result in a strategic shift of the Nation’s military capabilities. This PB FY-13 overview provides context for Information Dominance Day, identifies cuts, and conveys our priorities.
Focus Questions:
Speaker Director of Warfare Integration Directorate 9:15 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. KEYNOTE ADDRESS THE ROLE OF ACQUISITION IN INFORMATION DOMINANCE Principal Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development, and Acquisition) 10:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. NETWORKING BREAK
10:30 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. SESSION THREE: STRENGTHENING THE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE To operate and fight effectively in future maritime environments, the Navy is undertaking a number of initiatives to minimize the risk of losing a competitive informational advantage over potential adversaries. Operations in high-threat scenarios require robust over-the-horizon communications, secure networks and data links, and assured access to essential segments of the electro-magnetic spectrum. Our worldwide networks, data storage, transport mechanisms, and the related infrastructure and personnel are vital for achievement of Information Dominance and key to delivering a robust Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) process. Focus Questions:
Speaker Program Executive Officer for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence 11:15 a.m. - 12:00 noon NAVY ISR FAMILY OF SYSTEMS: AN INTEGRATED FUTURE Understanding and exploiting the maritime operating environment is an essential prerequisite to conducting maneuver warfare at sea. To this end, Navy will improve its ability to conduct responsive, theater-focused end-to-end Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The Navy is pursuing a “Family of Systems” that will increased operational access, persistence, flexibility, and information sharing. We aim to develop and acquire new unmanned systems and sensors which will provide new and unique sources of information to support both combat and combat-support missions. Focus Questions
Speaker Director, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Capabilities Division 12:00 noon – 1:15 p.m. LUNCH AND NETWORKING
1:15 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. SESSION FOUR: INTEGRATING INFORMATION IN ALL OPERATIONS The Navy is strengthening its role as a leader and innovator in the use of information to support all missions outlined in the Naval Operations Concept. A primary emphasis is on maximizing the value of all available information currently being collected in support of maritime operations in the air, surface, and subsurface domains while ensuring sufficient flexibility exists to fully exploit future Navy, joint, national and coalition sensors currently under development. The application of combat and operational sensor data, intelligence, oceanography and targeting information is required to execute the full range of maritime missions.
Focus Questions:
Speaker Director, Decision Superiority 2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m. SESSION FIVE: EMPLOYING NON-KINETIC FIRES In addition to using information to maximize support to traditional maritime missions, Navy is moving to employ information itself as a weapon. Information as warfare is expected to deliver expanded maneuver space for our forces, provide expanded operational and strategic options, and amplify Navy current kinetic combat capabilities. This includes the direct employment of advanced electronic warfare and cyber capabilities for achieving specific operational effects within the battlespace.
Focus Questions:
Speaker Commander, U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/Commander, U.S. 10th Fleet 2:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. NETWORKING BREAK
